Walter:
How high does your hose come now before the transom. Mine is attached to the
underside of the cockpit floor just aft of the rudder post. I haven’t
measured how high that is above the exhaust port.Paul

For those interested in feathering prompts, here is a recent discussion on kiwiprops, which look attractive at $1300. However, I am not sure how happy I would be with the drop in motoring performance. I guess it depends on how much sailing you do in light air versus motoring.

Has anyone tried one of these on a 424.
Well, for some reason my boat came with a 35 lb CQR, which doesn’t make
sense to me. As per others comments, it is at least 10 lbs too light. Is
anybody out there using this small of a CQR. I fiqured the PO must have sold
the main anchor and the 35 Lb one was a secondary or stern anchor.I have been close to getting a Manson Supreme (a 60 Lb for long term
cruising with 275 ft of 5/16 HT chain). However, another “new” anchor has
just come out that looks pretty interesting, the RAYA and the Tempest ( the
Tempest will dismantle for storage).http://ancoralatina.com/acolhimento/ingles/Home%20page.html
Not a lot of info on them yet, but someone from Toronto just received one,
so I will be interested in hearing how he likes it. ALso GMac in NZ will be
testing them out down under shortly.http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/f118/raya-anchor-18540.html
How are the original anchor rollers on the 424 for handling these newer
anchors. I have heard some people comment that the Ronca’s or Supreme’s are
too big to fit some boats, but I don’t know if that is a problem with our
boats.Paul

According to the Port Supply website, you need to include a copy of your
business license, examples of advertising or website and your tax exemption
form. You also need to supply the usual business and credit reference info.Tor – are the prices before your yard’s 10% markup a lot cheaper than
Defender’s.Paul

Your 2″ guess was pretty close. I measure it at 1 3/4″ to the highest point.

Hi Alan:
I measure it at just over 5 1/2 ” from the top of the flange on the bottom
(5 5/8″ from the deck).Let me know if you need any other measurements.

I don’t think mine are marked, but you could try turning on one hot water
tap at a time and feel for which tube gets hot ( and then hope they used the
same numbering on the cold water 🙂Paul

I applied some 5200 this weekend and just used my bare finger to smooth it
out, which worked well. You just need a good supply of paper towels to wipe
your finger right away. There may be a better way though.Paul

As per Don Casey’s Teak Cleaning article, a 75/25 liquid laundry detergent
and bleach may do the trick if you don’t want to use oxalic acid.http://www.boatus.com/boattech/casey/29.htm

I will also be interested in hearing how this turns out. While I had heard
of Cape Horn before, I had never checked out their web site. I didn’t
realize that they are made less than 2 hours from me. I like the design, as
I was never fond of having the lines running across the cockpit. If
something critical needed to be measured out or tried on the boat, I may be
able to assist.As far as the dinghy davits go, I would have thought that the use of the
davits and windvane would be at different times. While offshore, where you
are likely to use the windvane, the dinghy will likely be stored out of the
way on the foredeck.Paul

Based on the following discussion, it looks like you should be able to pick
up some tape insulation at any auto or speed shop:http://www.moyermarine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=71
The “new” engine looks great . When you have a chance, it would be great to
see a summary of your project, re “re-build versus buy new”. You seem to
have gone a different route than most, with probably good reasons. It would
be good information for others like me who will have to make a similar
decision in the next few years!!Paul

Showing my lack of experience with these engines, why do the fuel injector
lines need replacing. Is it due to corrosion of the line or because they
will no longer seal because of repeated opening and tightening to bleed the
lines. If it is the latter, that makes the case for an external fuel pump
pretty strong.Paul

Chuck:
My boat was sitting with weight all along the bottom of the keel. However,
I had too much weight on the aft end, as it had indented the wood 1/2″
where it was sitting. I am re-doing a repair that was done 15 years ago that
wasn’t up to my standards. After cutting out some of the old repair area,
the hull was distorting a bit, making it difficult to line up new material.
So I wanted to get the aft end of the keel up in the air, off the support
base, by rolling the weight forward more on to the lead portion of the keel.I wasn’t able to jack up the rear support pads any more, with the weight on
them. In order to relieve the weight a bit, I wanted to take up some of the
weight on the rudder skeg (not the cutlass bearing skeg under the engine). I
took Bob’s word that it would be okay, assuming of course he would give me
his boat if I broke mine. I took just enough weight on the bottle jack to
allow me to get a turn on each of the support pads. After about an hour, I
got the aft end of the keel clear of the support wood, so I should be able
to remove it and finish my repair.Thanks,
Paul

Thanks. I had the name of some company whose initials were W-C that was in
the back of my mind all morning. I was googling names like Wilton-Cox, etc,
before I figured it out about the same time as your e-mail. However, as John
indicated, they only carry cleats now, no chocks.Linus, thanks for the offer. For the interest of the group, which brand did
you install. I couldn’t find anyone supplying 8″ chocks. Most seem to be 6″
or smaller.Paul
